Former Church Day Care Worker Gets Half a Century of Prison Time for Exploiting Toddlers to Produce and Distribute Child Pornography

A 25-year-old former day care worker at Fellowship Presbyterian Church’s Fellowship Day School in Greensboro, North Carolina has been sentenced to five decades behind bars after pleading guilty in Nov. 2020 to one count each for producing and distributing child pornography. Some of those images and videos even showed Alyson Brooke Saunders sexually abusing the young children while they were in her care.

“According to court documents, in or about January and February 2019, while employed at a day care facility in the Middle District of North Carolina, Saunders admitted to using five minor victims in her care to create sexually explicit images and videos, including some in which she also engaged in hands-on sexual abuse of some of the children,” the DOJ said in a statement. “The defendant then sent these images and videos to an online co-conspirator, with the knowledge that he intended to post them on the internet.”

The local CBS affiliate said most of the details they had seen were “too graphic, too disturbing, and [too] downright unspeakable” to repeat. But the television station did say that the victims were ages 2 to 3, that they were boys and girls, that the alleged offenses occurred between Jan. 2019 and Feb. 2019, and that the child pornography material included both pictures and videos — including videos recorded “inside the daycare on the changing table.”

look like the way I would expect a criminal loser to appear? I try not to judge based on appearances but sometimes the crime and the mugshot fit each other like a hand and glove.

TIP THAT LED TO INVESTIGATION
"The investigation started in late February when HSI said their Winston-Salem office received a tip from HSI London.
The tip claimed a person arrested on child pornography charges abroad was having contact online with Saunders.
In response to that tip, HSI special agents interviewed Saunders who they say gave them consent to look at her electronic media."
